I'm back......

Don't panic. All is well. :)

So....... I've been trying to be more pro-active w3ith my posts. SUnday is my day off so I am going to have a new Blog post every Sunday, rain or shine. Sort of like the U.S.P.S. \

I asked my daughter "What color should I paint my nails today?" Her response "I don't know." I said "Just pick a color." She said "Blue." Blue it is.

I'm really into the nail stamping right now . It's such an awesome concept. Artsy nails that anyone can do. Even if you aren't ambidextrous.  I have a bunch of nail stamping polish and stamping plates. The designs are never the same. Who'd of thought?



Pay no attention to the bottles of nail polish  magically suspended on the desk.

I started with the magical China Glaze Bahamian Escape. This it two coats you see on my last three fingers. This is a pretty mid-tone blue with a cream finish.

If you happen to notice my mistakes, be nice. I find it a waste of time to clean up after every step. Nail stamping is messy. Since I'm allergic to latex, that fancy paint on barrier is out of the question. Please bare with me.



After the China Glaze is dry, I stamped the nails using Mundo de Unas Light Gold. I stamped over that with Mundo de Unas Holland blue.

I finished with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat. Tada. Blue nails. Just for you Bunny.  Bunny is my daughter's nickname. I call my other daughter Kitty. She like to meow outside my window and scare the crap out of me.








Here's some pictures of my supplies.....


From left to right: China Glaze Bahamian Blue, Mundo de Unas Light gold, Mundo de Unas Holland Blue.



I used Pueen stamping plate #80 first with the Light Gold. I stamped over that with the #77 plate and the  Holland Blue . I bought this set at Amazon. Here is the link.  http://www.amazon.com/PUEEN-Collection-24B-L-STAMPING-BUFFET/dp/B00P8HQZUO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00

The China Glaze you can buy just about anywhere. Ebay is a great place to shop if you want a specific color that you cant find in the store. The stamping polish I bought from a nail polish site that doesn't sell it any more. You can find it on the Mundo de Unas website. The link: http://www.mundodeunas.com/


I hope you like this look.

Thanks for stopping by.

Yes, I know....you thought I left the planet.

Hello all: It's been a beautiful day in my neck of the woods. It was 74 degrees today. Perfect day to be relaxing on the porch. And me with a cold. My great aunt had a screened porch. She died along time ago. I was 7. It doesn't look the same now but I am proud to say is is on The Historical Register. My mother loved this house. And she loved Auntie. The History lesson is over. But I know my brother and sisters won't forget this house. I found this post for pink and gray nails on Bloglovin. Here's the link.  http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4817501097&blog=4629175. I didn't want to use her picture without permission.  After you check out her link, this is what mine look like.  I used a base coat as always. Whichever you choose is fine. My goal, when I try to recreate looks, is to use what I have at home. Some colors are spot on. other are close enough to the original. On my pinkie, pointer and thumb I used Color Club She's Sooo Glam....

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.......

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr purr. If you watch the Big Bang Theory, you know where this comes from. I don't. But my daughter does. When I saw this polish on the Super Nails Etsy site, I had to get it for her. Me, being a cat lover, I had to get one for myself as well. Here is the link. https://www.etsy.com/shop/supernails This is a polish that has a sheer pink base. It is full of pink, grey and white tiny spots. It's not glitter, because it doesn't sparkle. The think that made me want to buy it is that it has white, pink and grey......kitty heads in it. I thought it was really cute. Let it begin: Base coat...check. Pro-Fx nail Concealer in Light/Medium. I don't know if I mentioned it but it come is Medium/Dark as well. One coat of this. Polish...check. If you aren't familiar with glitter type polish, it's applied differently than regular polish. For  me, the first coat is the base coat for the color. each following coat that I put on, I am pl...

Happy Mother's Day.

Greetings:  I hope all of the Mother's have a blessed day. Children are amazing. I have seven of my own and many of my children's friends that I claim as my own. I bought some new polish on Thursday. I bought a dark pink, a nice blue, a sand color and a sparkly fairy dust color. The blue reminded me of my Mom's blue eyes.  I lost her in 2003. It doesn't get any easier. It's just life. I miss her terribly. She was very special. Let's get the show on the road. First, a base coat. Your choice. I used the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer in Light Medium. I used one coat to create a smooth surface. I chose Pure Ice Shine Rain & Shine. Thins is a nice cornflower blue. Two coats.  For the glitter I used Glitter Lambs Million Dollar Gradient. I love this color. It's gold, gold and more gold. It's  a "bam"in your face gold. With glitter polish, the first Coat you need to "place" more then "paint" it on. Th...
